Fertility Acupuncture 101: Treatment Plans

Acupuncture Treatments for IVF cycle

Here's a disclaimer. Everyone is unique and Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) is based upon the tenet of uniqueness. That said, the most common
question we get at Pulling Down the Moon is about a “typical”
treatment plan. So, with the caveat that your situation is unique and
your practitioner will tailor treatment to suit your needs, here’s
a good solid overview of what a typical fertility acupuncture treatment
plan looks like.

In your acupuncturist’s ideal world, starting acupuncture treatments
at least three months prior to an IVF cycle would provide an optimal preparatory
period. During this prep period we will focus generally on your overall
health (adjusting lifestyle and dietary practices that lead to imbalance)
and specifically on the maturation of the egg.
